http://forum.truecrypt.ch/t/usenet-newsgroup-instead-or-at-the-same-time-as-this-web-forum/64We all probably want the end user version of TrueCrypt to be available far and wide, but technical, policy, implementation, even funding discussions may be better suited for a smaller audience. Usenet will help weed out the tactical trolls and people who aren't very technical.
It seems to me that programmers thinking they universally know better the needs of ordinary users, and closing up the process, is an ominous sign. Almost no one who uses TC is going to be computer illiterate.
